it is a looooong flight... I mean, look-- it is going to take us 2 days to get there!! I better pack lots of books... and maybe some sleep aides!! :)

that said, it is time to start thinking of what to pack... what to buy... ooh did someone mention shopping? Actually I am going to be making a VERY conscious effort to be ultra conservative in my packing. I know I need new walking shoes and a multi-purpose jacket-- something light weight and casual but nice enough to pair with a skirt. Casual clothing is the key word here for the whole wardrobe for the trip. casual and comfortable!

But what I really really want to get my hands on are copies of some books like "the power of a praying woman" by Stormie Omartian or "Captivating" by Stacey and John Eldridge. I want to have some on hand to gift to the women i meet in Strumica. Knowing that these women may not realize how priceless they are in God's eyes makes me want to do whatever I can to help them see their worth. I think those books might help to do that.

the love burkes

celebrating 21 years of marriage

how beautiful are the feet

at the edge of the earth

the Love-Burkes at sea

Welcome!

Starting this blog in 2010 as a way to share our experiences while on a mission trip quickly evolved into sharing about living for Jesus every day. From the Mountain highs to the Valley lows, when you walk with God, life is never without purpose or without joy.

Acts 20.24

But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus; the work of telling others the good news about God's love and kindness.
